  • Serves Short Hills, NJ

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

My husband and I recently had our wedding on May 18th 2023 at The Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. Krave caterers was one of their preferred vendors. I went to a wedding here before and Krave was catering and remember how AMAZING cocktail hour and reception were! I was so excited to use them as our catering and events vendor. From the beginning Kate and everyone who worked at Krave were nothing but amazing. At first I was nervous to use so many vendors and upkeep communication with everyone but it was totally worth it. Kate was truly the sweetest and most professional person. It was so easy to communicate with her and any last minute changes I needed she was able to assist. She took her time to get to know us and our vision for the day whether it was from food tasting to decor. The day of our wedding she was there alongside us asking if we needed anything. She did an amazing job coordinating the flow of the night. The food was just amazing! I have been to so many weddings and I can truly say that Krave puts in so much passion and love into their food. We got so many great compliments about the food and service! Knowing how busy my husband and I would be she brought us cocktail hour food to our bridal suite to make sure we got to eat and also packed us up soooo much food! We were able to eat leftovers for the next two days. They truly made our wedding day so special! We loved working with Kate and her Krave team. I highly recommend their catering services not only for weddings but other events!

To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.

I hired Chef Ellen for a dinner party that I was hosting for 20 people, and she absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations. From our first call about planning the event, to the event itself, Chef Ellen was fantastic. She has such an impressive rolodex of appetizers and meals she can prepare, and she worked with me to customize a perfect menu for the evening. We chose 5 hors d'oeuvres, and she surprised me on the night with two additional ones on top of the five we'd chosen! Every single appetizer was delicious. From there, we did a sit down dinner that included a soup (amazing butternut squash), salad (the best salad my guests have ever had - who knew a salad could be that life changing!), and then guests had a choice of filet mignon or arctic char for their main course. Both main courses were so thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and the presentation for everything was stunning. On top of that, there was a mini pizza delivery crisis for my 5 and 7 year old nephews who were over, and Chef Ellen graciously offered to make pasta for them -- all while preparing a 20-person dinner. What more could you ask for?! After dinner, she also surprised me with mini passed desserts :) Chef Ellen also had brought a server with her, who was professional, charismatic and on top of everything to ensure the night went smoothly. To sum it up, Chef Ellen helped make the night so special, and I was thrilled with all of her hard work. If you're looking for delicious food, beautiful presentation, great service, and a hell of a personality, don't hesitate to book Chef Ellen. I am so glad I found her and am already looking forward to having her back for another event!

We had On the Border cater for our wedding, and I highly recommend them!! The servers arrived early to deliver, set up, serve, and tear down the food. Our guests loved the steak & chicken fajitas, queso, chips & salsa, rice, beans, drinks, and sopapillas. We had 100 guests, and the pricing for On the Border was reasonable for the delicious food. Lisa Wood was our catering sales associate, and she was extremely helpful! The entire wedding planning process is stressful, but she was always available to answer questions, and made numerous changes to our order/contract based on my requests. The servers were professional, and we thought it was kind of them to pack up the leftovers for us to take home. I would absolutely book On the Border for future events!

We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!
